Standard Owner Benchmark - Flustix

By CommonShare

Flustix is an independent certification and labeling system that verifies and labels products and services as being free from microplastics and harmful substances. It was founded in Germany in 2017 with the goal of addressing the issue of microplastic pollution and providing consumers with transparent information about the products they purchase.

Flustix certification involves a rigorous evaluation process to ensure that products and services meet strict criteria and do not contain microplastics or harmful substances. The certification covers a wide range of sectors, including cosmetics, personal care products, textiles, household goods, and more. Once certified, products can display the Flustix label, which allows consumers to easily identify and choose products that are free from microplastics.

The Flustix label provides assurance to consumers that the certified products have undergone testing and analysis to verify their microplastic-free status. It serves as a trustworthy and recognizable symbol that helps consumers make informed choices aligned with their environmental values and concerns.

Flustix's mission extends beyond certification and labeling. The organization actively works to raise awareness about microplastic pollution and advocates for stricter regulations and standards in various industries. Flustix collaborates with businesses, NGOs, and government bodies to promote sustainable alternatives, encourage responsible production practices, and drive positive change in consumer behavior.

As an independent certification system, Flustix operates as a for-profit entity. It charges fees for its certification services, which contribute to the organization's operational costs and sustainability. While the organization focuses on promoting environmental sustainability and consumer transparency, its for-profit structure enables it to continue its efforts and expand its reach in combating microplastic pollution.

In summary, Flustix is an independent certification and labeling system that verifies products and services as being free from microplastics and harmful substances. Founded in Germany in 2017, Flustix aims to provide consumers with transparent information and choices regarding environmentally friendly products. While pursuing its mission, Flustix operates as a for-profit organization by charging fees for its certification services.
